I have always welcomed constructive feedback no matter where it came from, because I know I'm faaaar from being perfect and listening to other people's opinion on your work may really help you see yourself through different eyes and use that to improve.
A while back I had some issues with a challenging student who was very intelligent, but also a bit rough on the edges with me and his classmates. So I decided to sit down and talk to him about how he felt in class and if there was anything I could do or change in the way I conducted my classes to help him feel more motivated and friendlier. I know it's going to be a year long process and achieving this particular goal will depend on both of us, but that conversation helped me think of some new ideas for our classes and I could immediately see a little change in his behaviour.
